Biography
Walter Flowers was born in Greenville, Alabama on 12 April 1933, and he practiced law before being elected to the US House of Representatives as a Democrat. He became known as the most conservative member of the US Congress during the mid-1970s, having chaired George Wallace's 1972 presidential campaign. He went on to serve on the House Judiciary Committee, and, despite being a conservative Democrat who leaned against the impeachment vote, he ultimately decided to vote in favor of the impeachment proceedings, as he felt that Richard Nixon's conduct was unacceptable. He retired in 1979 and died in 1984 at the age of 51.
